3 coats of Danish Oil soaked in it over night as it would drain straight through timber

Artme it was brilliant a branch that other wise would have ended up in FIL's fire pile it wasn't much longer than the amount of rings thats there no waste. Peeled away beautifully that was with crap chisels sharp though.
Harry pretty much that rounded the branch between centres, shaped then mounted into Nova 3G chuck while mounting drill chuck into tailstock with Forstner bit drilled one at a time a parted them off with my hacksaw blade low speed sanded each end as I went. Drop the speed to low when drilling and slow progression.
I have a dowel piece I could slide each one back onto to do final sand and polish a slight tight fit between centres or in chuck.
I got the idea from a set my Aunt had many years ago when I was a teenager a wood tuner at her work made them.

Really well done... and the manner of makin' them is "perty slick" I might add. And a good idea for that "What-do-you-make-on-your-lathe" thread.

Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

Thanks DJ, artme, Harry, OGYT
It was fun reaching for the power board to turn the lathe off each time to check etc. New switch is on its way.
